[Tfug] Webmail interface trouble

I've noticed the same problem when using IE. I think it's just the way the
webmail client is building the tables. What it should be doing is only
showing the first 30-40 characters in the subject line. Instead it will
show everything up to 255 characters which is just ridiculous.

No solution other than not using webmail as a permanent mail client.
